Lineup can be any list of people. I didn't say starting lineup.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say 'lineup', I think of the Cincinnati Bengals football team and a police station.
ReplyDeleteAs for Brazil, do you think the USSF can get FIFA to pass legislation that when the players exchange jerseys at the end, they are then cup-tied to the new team? Surely we could sneak that one in without anyone really noticing. Somebody call Jack Warner on it - he seems to be able to get away with a lot.

ReplyDeleteGod Save America!
